Hans J. Wegner set of four CH23 dining chairs

Available and in very good condition with minor signs of use

This set of four vintage CH23 dining chairs by Hans J. Wegner embodies the quiet mastery of Danish modern design—where craftsmanship, comfort, and subtle detail come together seamlessly. Crafted in warm-toned wood and paired with handwoven papercord seats, the chairs offer both durability and a tactile softness that ages beautifully over time.

What truly sets the CH23 apart is its distinctive backrest construction. Rather than relying on visible hardware, Wegner devised an elegant solution where the horizontal backrest appears to float, joined to the uprights with refined, exposed through-tenons. These small but deliberate cross-shaped joints are not only structurally sound but also serve as a decorative signature, celebrating the honesty of the materials and the precision of the joinery.

The gently curved backrest provides ergonomic support, while the woven seat introduces a natural texture that contrasts subtly with the smooth wooden frame. Light in appearance yet sturdy in build, these chairs reflect Wegner’s philosophy of stripping design down to its essence—nothing unnecessary, nothing overlooked.

Together, the four chairs form a cohesive set that feels both timeless and intimate, equally suited to a modern interior or a more traditional space that appreciates the enduring beauty of handcrafted furniture.
